"Hello! My name is Candice and my husband Mike and I started our vintage shop, apt22, about a year ago. We had taken up the hobby of collecting vinyl and began scouring thrift stores and flea markets looking to add to our collection. While digging through old piles of dusty records we began discovering tons of amazing vintage finds. Knowing we couldn't keep everything for ourselves but wanting to share all of our great finds, we started apt22, named for an apartment we had while living in New York. You can read more about our shop and us by visiting Candice's blog: The Design Boards which catalogs our thrifting adventures, interior, fashion and style inspirations, and our journey in renovating our mid century home." - Candice

MadeYaLook brings you vintage from the Midwest. I have tons of fun with this hobby. I want to share a Christmas package to start off your holiday season that combines vintage crafts (think sequined light fixture covers) with vintage Christmas (the coolest vintage card EVER!). -Cheryl

My favorite thanksgiving thing I crave is my grandmothers Rosemary turkey. It is to die for... but I wont lie, I am also partial to my Nana's homemade pecan pie, infact I can never get enough of it!! bring on the food and the thanks!!

Mashed potatoes! As a vegetarian I'm pretty restricted to side dishes during Thanksgiving, but it works out really well. Because I could seriously eat 2 pounds of mashed potatoes and veg gravy in one sitting.

Give me the whole kit and caboodle! Highlights...turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread, rolls, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, home-made whipped cream, oh, but I forgot...probably a favorite is the olives I fill up on while the meal is being prepared...(although they don't fit on my adult fingers so well any more)!

My future mother-in-law makes a mean vegan carrot cake. Whenever I try to make it, it turns out like carrot-y dried bread, but somehow she's found the secret behind making it super moist and flavourful. Though its a year long craving, it's a guarantee at thanksgiving.

We don't have Thanksgiving here in New Zealand, obviously, but I hear/read about the holiday and especially the FOOD. Because all my U.S. friends are on a TG kick I am totally craving pumpkin pie and turkey!

well being from australia we don't usually do thanksgiving.but this year i have been inspired to throw a thanksgiving dinner party.. and i am making pumpkin pie. something i always make my american friends make for me...so im craving that., kim

I am definitely going to have to go with candied sweet potatoes. My mother has the BEST recipe ever! She found it in a Louisiana style cookbook years ago and has been in charge of them ever since. I've had so many people ask me for the recipe after having snagged a few bites. Yummmm!

we don't have thanksgiving here in NZ but today 29 miners, who have been trapped since an explosion 6 days ago, were killed for certain in a second, larger explosion today. it is awful news for everyone here...especially at this time of the year.and so, i am just thankful to have life. and to be able to eat any food.so thankful.

My favorite Thanksgiving craving is mashed sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows! Sweet goodness! My mouth waters just thinking about them, but not as much as it waters looking at all that's included in this awesome giveaway! ;-)

This year I don't get to go home to celebrate with all my family, so my mom, boyfriend, and I are going to a restaurant in Brason... so my food craving this year is "something new for Thanksgiving!" I'm hoping to try someone else's favorite holiday treat!

pumpkin pie filling. not the pie itself just the leftover filling that my mom always used to bake alone in this little vintage pyrex dish. i always got to eat that the night before for helping prep everything.

I'm hoping I can make cranberry polenta this year (if there's enough room in the kitchen for me). But we're also going to try and space out the food, put out some brussel sprouts with bacon as appetizers and have a salad for lunch, so it's not an overwhelming whopper of a meal.

mashed potatoes and the dinner rolls are my favorite part of Thanksgiving, and yes - while they are available throughout the year they're just not the same without all the family and fixins ^.^ can't wait!

MMMMM.......My mom makes this AMAZING Potato Casserole (i don't think i know how to spell either of those words!!! hahahah :} ) with crumbled up chips on the top. I take up pretty much half of my plate with just that....and maybe go back for more!

My mom makes this side dish called "green bean bundles," which is french style beans wrapped in bacon, stuck with a toothpick, and roasted in the oven with a brown sugar butter sauce. Needless to say, no matter how many she makes, there's always a small panic over who gets the last one!

oh i crave the whole thanksgiving day meal! its what i look forward to all year long! :) but if i had to choose just one craving it would be the homemade gravy!!! yumOOOOO!!!happy thanksgiving to you! xo
